This is the 80-year-old president’s second public physical exam since taking office. In 2021, an exam concluded that the president was healthy and fit for office. 

Presidents are under no legal requirement to publicly release health information, though many have over the last several decades. 

In 2021, President Biden released a six-page health summary from his exam, detailing his height, weight, fitness level, blood pressure, arthritis symptoms and existing medical conditions, the report said. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
